Central Oregon’s Deschutes River features seven major whitewater rapids (rated Class 3+) in ten miles, making this one of the premier rafting rivers in the state. This beautiful river runs through juniper and sagebrush country in the “rain shadow” of the Cascade Mountains, where you can expect sunshine most of the year. We’ll leave campus on Friday night to camp under the stars by the put-in, and return on Saturday after spending the day rafting the river.
